SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FTVV_MESSAGES - Reporting Financial Assets Management

• Message number: 138

• Message text: Pmnt method &1 is for incoming payments - maintain bank details ID

What causes this issue?

The payment method &V1& is used for incoming payments. You need to
enter the bank details ID to avoid problems with subsequent functions.
If you do not enter the bank details ID, the payment program determines
the partner bank automatically, however this will cause problems with
the creation of FI documents if the validation described below is
activated.
In FI you have the option of activating a company code-specific
validation via the IMG ( in Release 3.0) or using Customizing ( in
Release 2.2). This validation checks whether the bank details ID is set
in the document for payment details relevant for automatic debit. If
this validation is set as active then a missing bank details ID will
cause an error. For this reason, you need to enter the bank details
ID.
